THE FAMILY IN CRISIS (SERIES 2

Once upon a time, children in our society were jointly raised by their parents and other members of their extended families not forgetting neighbours and teachers and such communal interventions to a large extent ensured that there was discipline not only in families but in the society at large as children behaved themselves knowing that many eyes were on them and if for any reason they misbehaved, they could be severely punished or reported to their parents. In my opinion, today's parents are largely to be blamed for the high level of indiscipline among the youths, I remember how we were openly caned by our teachers In the presence of our classmates simply because we were reported by our parents, as a matter of fact, those of us whose houses were beside the road to the school did everything possible to stay away from trouble so that our parents do not report us to our teachers who could be passing by at any moment but today, parents will storm their children schools and beat up their teachers for daring to punish them for bad behaviours. Over the years, poor parenting has led us to where we are now, where parents who ought to be worthy examples of discipline and good behaviours now shamelessly beats up teachers for correcting their wards, we now find ourselves in a pitiable condition where class teachers are threatened,blackmailed or bribed by some irresponsible parents who wants their children to pass their examinations at all cost and the resultant effect now lives with us, Cultism,Prostitution,Armed Robbery, Hard Drugs Consumption not forgetting Rape and many other anti-social behaviours. How did we get here? To be continued..... Authored by: Pastor Emmanuel N Okafor Telephone number: 08060518919

LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH (Part 3).

Seriously speaking, the church as presently constituted cannot effectively fight the kingdom of darkness and this is because the church and it's leaders have completely surrendered to the dictate and control of agents of darkness whose wealths emaciates from the pit of hell, it's a known fact that the church now receives financial and material gift from people of questionable characters, as a matter of fact, it's no longer a secret that many of our today's churches are now being sponsored by Yahoo Yahoo plus criminals. It's laughable for anyone in his or her right senses to expect that the church whose leaders have been captured by the powers of satanic wealth would summon the courage and strength to prayerfully dislodge the forces of darkness in the church, how is that going to work? How on earth would anyone expect them to rise against the same people that are not just financing their churches but are also financing their lavish lifestyles? If they f...

LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH.(PART 8)

There's no doubt that the church here in Nigeria desperately needs prayers considering the many challenges therein,the church is seriously pleagued by all manners of crisis which in my opinion are all man made as Christ Jesus made it clear in the bible that he will build his church upon the rock and the gate of hell shall not prevail over it. Historically speaking,the early church both in the scriptures and here in Nigeria centred their works on love for one another and unity of purpose but today, the church can now be likened to an empire where the emperor battle to secure his or her territory. Many observers of our today's Churches are of the opinion that the real reason why Churches are springing up in every corners of the country is because every pastor who decides to break away from a church has just one thing in his or her mind and that thing is nothing but to set up an empire where he or she is only answerable to himself not to any one else and when they are s...

SEVEN STAGES OF LIFE BATTLES. (Part 1) Stage 1.

                         Battles from the womb. The world in which we live in is full of wickedness and sadly,some of us are victims of such wickedness even while in our mother's womb,majority of the life challenges that some of us are currently battling with can be traced to the attacks on our destinies while in the womb and the architects of such attacks are usually people that are close to our parents. Today,some of us are struggling to succeed in our different fields of endeavors but inspire of our struggles,we achieved little or nothing many prophets have prophesied that we shall be great but many years after such prophecies, we are still far from greatness because the enemies who must have enquired from their witchdoctors about the greatness of our destinies has tampered with the glories of our lives even in our mother's wombs.           To demonstrate how wicked the society in which we liv...
